Essencion
by jwklong
Essencion gives players permanent effects that help with progression, and the chosen effect is set by one of seven Essences.
What it does
A player right-clicks a Blank Essence to transform it into one of the Essences in the mod's group of items, which include Strength, Boost, Wealth, Ocean, Heart, Air and Cave. Each Essence grants a lasting effect once it is chosen, so the effect carries on through the rest of the game.
Changing an Essence requires crafting an Essence Switcher, which is built from three Shards scattered across dimensions. The switcher lets a player reset their current Essence and pick a new one, so an earlier choice does not lock the player in.
Essencion runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, and it is needed on both client and server, so the server and every player must install it. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Its latest Forge file is 0.1.2, published on 2023-12-02 on the beta channel.

Each of these gives permanent effects to the player, helping with progression. To change your Essence you must craft a Essence Switcher, using 3 of each Shard scattered across the dimensions. This will allow you to reset your Essence and choose a new one.
